I put aside the sewing for this evening and this is what came of it. It’s a 5×5 inch gallery edge canvas. Fun size to work with. The crown is actually a shank button. I cut a hole in the canvas for the shank to poke through the back.

I finished up a new pants purse today.
I’ve been working on it for the last couple days. I fell in love with the red corduroy and remembered the fun retro print fabric I had stashed away. Perfect match. The L.L. Bean corduroy pants I got on $3 a bag day at a local church rummage sale. They were like brand new. The other pants I got all showed much more wear…or maybe that’s just more “character”.I have a custom handbag that has a drawstring closure that I love. I wanted to emulate that in this bag.
I’m very happy with the way it turned out…of course with every thing a person makes, it’s easy to “knit-pick” it apart with the things that could have/should have/would have done differently.

I went to one of my favorite thrift shops today and came home with some nifty fabrics and a large zipper bag of fun fibers. I even found a nearly new pair of Columbia snow pants for my boy for $4. It was a fun morning…I’m showing my almost 5 yr old the joys of thrifting!
On our way home, my girl and I stopped to buy some notions from the fabric store…I should be able to get a couple of purses done in the next few days. That’s the hope anyway.
